Now that 2009 has come to an end, I asked everyone in our family that can speak in full sentences, what was their favorite things from the year 2009. Here are their answers.
Riah - 5 yrs old. I think it is hard for a 5 yr old to comprehend how long a year is and remember things that happened during that time period. All her answers had to do with Christmas and New years eve, until we reminded her of some of the other things that we did. Here are Riah's answers.
1-Getting a radio/CD player for Christmas
2-Watching Emma open her Art kit for Christmas
3-Having Nana visit for Christmas
4-Having friends over for New Years Eve and staying up until midnight.
5-Baby sister Leah being born. (we hinted at one of her sisters just coming in 2009 and she guess it was Sarah at first)
6-Our Sunriver vacation, mainly when I threw snowballs at her in the hot tub.
Emma - 8 yrs old. Emma has a better grasp on time and when things happened, but we still needed to remind her of some of the things we did this year.
1-No school in summer or holidays
2-Leah being born
3-Riding lessons and Horse lovers club
4-Getting an art kit for Christmas
5-Sunriver trip - Mainly the hot tub
Brooke - I am sure she has a complete grasp on time and she did not need help remembering what happened this year.
1-Leah-Relatively easy pregnancy and delivery
2-Homeschool conference in Portland
3-Sunriver vacation
4-The week spent in Paisley with my family after dad passed away
5-Having several relationships with friends grow closer over the year
6-Making the decision together to switch to a church in Lebanon
7-Photography
8-The peacock incident - Check out my post from May 5, 2009 called Ornithophobia.
Me - I turned 40 this year so it was a lot of work to try to remember what happened this year. But here it goes.
1-Our precious 4th daughter, Leah, being born
2-Just watching my girls grow and develop their personalities
3-Celebrating 14 yrs of marriage with Brooke
